Regarding Asper Biotech edit

Soory for the late reply; I won't point you to a page with a decent article, as don't know one...but I'll provide you with some links, regarding: notability, verifiability and sourcing; conflict of interest could be appropriate too. Feel free to ask more if you've got the need. Cheers. Lectonar 14:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Soviet Union edit

  Please stop. If you continue to delete or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Soviet Union, you will be blocked from editing.

Please, notice, that removing significant parts of pages, especially referenced information without rationale as you did here, is considered vandalism (see "Blanking" section there). For edits in such a style a user can be blocked. Cmapm 15:17, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

"From the mid-1930s, when the Omakaitse adherents gained power" is exactly the kind of sentence which indicates that neither its author, nor whoever takes it seriously, possesses even trivial knowledge about Estonian history. It simply does not make sense, as Omakaitse was created only in 1941. Konstantin Päts and other people close to him who gained power in the mid-1930s never even had a chance to become "Omakaitse adherents", as by 1941 the Soviets had either executed or deported them from Estonia. I have been following your recent Estonia-related edits, TheFEARGod, and without fear of any God can tell you that most of them do not qualify for much more than insults to intelligence. Your admitted hate of fascism is okay, but please do not edit articles about things that you have no clue about. Regards,--Klamber 20:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not the author of that sentence as you can find it here: [1] 2nd paragraph, 2nd line. You are right, I do not know what is Omakaitse, but I included that part because it was talking about anti-semitism.
also, I'm not working at the S. Wiesenthal center i haven't included that sentence into that site, if you are still doubtful. Please don't hurry with accusations in the future as it can be proven false, like this one. Cheers, --TheFEARgod (Ч) 21:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Digwuren's checkuser edit

Civility edit

Regarding this edit. Defacing somebody's userpage is usually consider vandalism please do not do it anymore. Barnstars are supposed to be reserve for the good faith praising of contributors not for the criticism. It is usually a good practice to offer barnstars on the talk pages so the user can later put them wherever he or she thinks is fit or do not accept it all. This is especially important if there is something controversial with the barnstar.

In future please take into account that vandalism over your opponent's user page rarely helps to advance your point of view. Happy editing Alex Bakharev 23:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Estland edit

If you feel that the article Estland should be deleted, or its content removed, you sould take the article to WP:AFD. If you just do not like the name, you are free to propose a better name. See also my comments at Talk:Estland#Estland (disambiguation). -- Petri Krohn 21:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello Fellow Sockpuppet edit

Someone clever has just confirmed you are me here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Digwuren--Alexia Death 06:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks coelacan, for the advice. I shall follow it. I must admit though that I am rather puzzled, if not disappointed, about the lack of transparency in this whole process. Not only have I been blocked (which is arguably a temporary inconvenience), but the administrators have also deemed it necessary to claim on permanent record that I have been "abusing" Wikipedia (which is one of the most serious punishments to someone's Wiki-identity), yet where and how this "abusing" took place is a secret due to Wikipedia privacy policy. The real life equivalent to this would be being punished and having a criminal record for the rest of one's life without the right to know on what evidence the verdict and the punishment were based in the first place. Luckily, justice in real life, at least for the most of us in civilised countries, is pursued somewhat differently from Wikipedia... Cheers, --Klamber 13:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Coelacan is incorrect here. The privacy policy is clear on this: there is no block on releasing checkuser evidence to the affected people, i.e. yourself and 3 Löwi, if both of you request it together. Martintg 06:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Digwuren edit

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Among the principles passed was At wit's end which states that necessary measures must be adopted by the Arbitration Committee in cases where repeated attempts to stop disruptive disputes have failed. As a result of the case, both Digwuren and Petri Krohn are banned for one year. There has also been a general restriction to all editors working on topis related to Eastern Europe and a warning to all those who may, in the future, attempt to use Wikipedia as a battleground that they may be banned when the matter is reported to the Committee.

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London edit

 
Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!

London Wikimedia Fundraiser edit

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Clarification motion edit

A case (Eastern Europe) in which you were involved has been modified by motion which changed the wording of the discretionary sanctions section to clarify that the scope applies to pages, not just articles. For the arbitration committee --S Philbrick(Talk) 15:32, 27 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
